OPEN HEAVEN, RCCG DAILY DEVOTIONAL, TUESDAY 11 MAY 2021

TOPIC FOR TODAY, TUESDAY 11:5: 21: Service to the anointed

By Pastor E. A Adeboye
 

MEMORISE: Mark 9:41

“For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto he shall not lose his reward.”

READ: Matthew 10:40-42 (KJV)

40. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

41. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

42. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Another reason Elisha achieved uncommon greatness is that he was devoted to God’s servant, Elijah. The Bible says that Elisha poured water on Elijah’s hands, meaning that he served him. Beloved, there are lots of blessings reserved for those who serve God’s prophets. Matthew 10:41 says:

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

When a man of God says “God bless you”, he is not just speaking idly; he is loading you with prophetic blessings that will give you tremendous testimonies. This is why you must be ready to do anything that will qualify you for such a divine blessing.

One of my sons-in-the-Lord in the United States once shared his testimony thus: “The last time the General Overseer (G.O.) was here, my pastor told me I had been chosen to drive him throughout the duration of his visit. I tried to explain that I was preparing for a major examination and might not be able to.

However, the pastor insisted. In the end, I decided that since the G.O would only be spending one day, I could manage to combine the driving assignment with my preparation for the crucial examination. To my surprise, the G.O. spent a whole week.

When he was finally leaving, he simply said to me “God bless you”. To the glory of God, despite the limited time I had for studying, I passed my examination with flying colors and I got a new job. Now that the G.O. is here on another ministerial visit, I must be the one to drive him”. You will never miss your reward in Jesus’ name.

Elisha was committed to the business of the kingdom; that was why the only thing he wanted from Elijah was a double portion of his spirit. He knew if he had what he would use for God’s work, he would get every other thing as promised in Matthew 6:33. God is looking for believers who are committed to kingdom business. Will you be available? As you work for God and serve His anointed ministers, God will remember your labour of love and bless you tremendously in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT: Think of what you can do to extend the frontiers of God’s Kingdom on earth, and begin to act decisively from today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 3-5.

SPECIAL NOTE!
